These are not your typical software engineering events. Our events cover topics related to software engineering along with business but aim to change the perspective of those who attend.  Our focus is on emerging technologies such as Big Data, Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, Nanotechnology, 3D printing, Machine Learning, MapReduce, Semantic Web technologies, alongside more traditional topics like Ruby on Rails, HTML5, PHP, node.js, and Python. We reach out to the entire New York metropolitan …

This group will be a haven for DIY and Open Source software/hardware enthusiasts to learn new things, make cool projects and share their skills/knowledge.  The only requirement to join the group is the ability to learn new things. Expect classes in  LAMP programming, Arduino, PCB Design (Eagle), lockpicking, beer brewing, soldering, painting, drawing, silkscreening and a whole lot more .

The most active robotics group in NYC. Discuss, collaborate, and build all sorts of robots with other enthusiasts.

NYC has countless tech meet-ups and events, but where's all the hardware love? We want to bring together a strong community of folks eager to build businesses with physical products, be it a cold fusion engine or a bionic fork. Whether you're an engineer, designer, CEO, investor, or anyone interested in being a part of the hardware start-up eco-system, come join us and let's create an amazing addition to the tech scene in the Big Apple.

An attempt to reboot Grey Thumb Society: a group of scientists, engineers, hackers, artists, and hobbyists with a strong interest in artificial life, artificial intelligence, biology, complex systems, and other related topics.

Events will focus on Ruby on Rails engineering best practices and principles along with emerging Rails technologies. We will focus events on mixing Rails with new and emerging technologies as much as possible.  Examples of this will range from using Rails with Big Data and high frequency trading to using rails to develop apps for robots, and new medical devices. We will only allow the best RoR speakers to present, ensuring the quality of the content. Content will range from beginner to advanced …

JUG Events will focus on Java programming best practices and principles along with using Java with emerging technologies like Big Data, Robotics, Augmented Reality and focus in on industries like Medicine, Media, and Finance.

Tech Tuesday is the weekly open night at Hack Manhattan, a community hackerspace in the Union Square neighborhood of Manhattan. Stop by to chat about your projects and use our electronics tools, 3D printers, sewing machines or machine shop. Hack Manhattan is located on 137 West 14th Street between Union Square and Chelsea. We are dedicated to technology, art and craft. Our physical space is open every Tuesday evening. A smaller 3D printing foucsed group gathers on Thursday evenings, and it’s pos …

This group is for anyone interested in learning about electronics. We will use the Arduino platform to learn and explore the embedded processing. All skill levels are welcome, beginners are especially encouraged to join. We will have parts available for each project.

High Tech meetup is for Entrepreneurs and inventors who are working on cutting edge technology. This is not a meetup for just web or another exercise app. It is geared at high tech startups involved in non standard and potentially revolutionary ideas and products. Granted, everyone thinks what they make falls into that category.As an example this meetup is for people involved in material modeling, robotics, machine learning, mobile apps that are deeper than a server+table/map UI. You got the pic …

Are you fascinated in such pursuits as model rockets and other remote controlled flying objects, aerial photography, weather ballooning, robotics, 3D Printing, prototyping, electronics, design and engineering? Let's meet up at least once a month to build some cool toys and experiments, and launch/fly them together.

Are you interested in helping us build a community of "Makers", tech-oriented innovators (programmers, hackers, robotics) etc. for students & adults in the Larchmont - Mamaroneck community? We have a Young Makers program operating privately but perhaps working together we could find some local building or space for dedicated sessions, informal learning & exploration.

We are an association of Makers in lower Fairfield County Connecticut who come together to work on projects of mutual interest and share our knowledge within the group and also with the local community. Our short term goal is also acquire a space where tools and project materials may be stored and used by members and guests.

This group is for people who are interested in Engineering, Computer Science and Electronics.
